Don’t come knocking on my door if you want headshots or modeling pictures that include any combination of GlamorShots, white background mugshots, or anything involving a greenscreen. I’m just not that kind of gal. Feel free to show up if you’re Leslie.
Leslie laughs easily and has always had that glimmer in her eye to be a singer. As a singer/songwriter her music is a mixture of folk, blues, and jazz. She contacted me to photograph her for promo images for her upcoming album and I absolutely jumped at the chance. The things that she was describing and showing me – natural, outdoors, warm, summery, backlit, bright, airy – evoked a photoshoot that I was eager to create with her.
We met in Newtown Square at a nature preserve right down the street from house. The land out there was beautiful and we picked a fantastic night. We captured the best parts of the evening from incredible golden light to a breathtaking purple sunset.
Keep your eyes and ears alert for the name Leslie Petruzzi. You can’t miss it!
If people have to put labels on me, I’d prefer the first label to be human being, the second label to be pacifist, and the third to be folk singer.
